Hey guys, it was nice to get a chance to put a face with a screen name. I wish we'd been in the same run group since I was hoping to get a ride with you both. I guess that will have to wait until next time.

And I really felt bad parking my ugly beater next to those two extremely clean cars. I guess somebody has to bring the property values down in the neighborhood. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Bill, those pictures are incredible, thanks so much for hosting them. I appreciate the great pictures of my car in action, i'm amazed at how much the car dives and rolls. I've never seen action shots quite like this. maybe its my junk shocks? maybe my stock springs and swaybars can't handle the grip of slicks?

Here I am on the binders somehow not brake hopping...

My short torque arm must be standing the car up on power and dropping it on brakes, hence the brake hop. I'm adamant about keeping my dual exhaust so the TAs you guys run are not an option for me. I'll lengthen my Jegster TA an keep it a tunnel mount to clear my 3" pipes, that plus Konis are bound to make a difference.

I do have another question, Kevin, is this the fast way around the track? LOL

Hmm. Considering that I somehow managed to beat you in the morning, and I would have beat you in the afternoon if it wasn't for cones (I'm actually very sure that the car would have run my afternoon times clean, I mostly just clipped the base of those cones and spun them out of the boxes, I needed 1/2", not 6" to avoid them...I just blew it), it might just be the fast way around the course. At least the fast way on skinny little street tires that have been heat cycled to death. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) (That's my story and I'm sticking to it). And, the weight advantage wasn't as much as it could have been since I had a passenger for every run of the day (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ).

(All of the above is crap...and racing excuses). (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/nutkick.gif)

You need shocks, and you could use a bit more spring rate too. However, an alignment is the #1 issue right now, those others are close behind. You are welcome to try my setup when you get ready, I'll gladly share (if you don't already know what it is). It's not perfect, but it works pretty well.

LOL Isn't that was autocross is? If it wasn't for the cones we'd all be faster! LOL

Anyway I just had to give you a rough time when I saw the pics of the car sideways coming off. I normally run with the NWOR and one of my mentors up there, Les Schober, is always harping on me about being smooth, squeezing the throttle and squeezing the brakes, the fast way is the smooth way even if it feels slow. I have to say I've found him to be exactly right so far, so I think sometimes I leave time on the course because I'm not aggressive enough, but I'm trying to make clean smooth effective passes. So when I saw you coming off the corner tail first, I had to comment. Obviously in the morning session it was the fastest way around the course, and in the afternoon it would have been if it weren't for those annoying cones! ahahahah (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)
